Just in case you're unaware, those 4 series are about, in order 1) a bunch of guidos on the Jersey Shore 2) 3 sisters who are famous because one of them got naked in Playboy, and another on of them is a thief who broke into Lindsay Lohan's house (the third sister has yet to achieve notoriety). 3) a former rock icon (is that too generous a description?!?!?) who likes to bang road skanks, and 4) a road skank who achieved fame by being a skank on ANOTHER absurd show in which Flavor Flav tried to find love by dating a bunch of women, which she somehow parlayed into not just a show, but an entire FRANCHISE. Oy vey. If I asked you, 15 years ago, to estimate the probability that these would all be shows on TV, it would have been somewhere in the range of six sigmas against, right?
